John has been married to his wife, Anna Beth Goodman, since 1989. The couple has a 26-year-old daughter, Molly Evangeline Goodman, together, who was born in August 1990. The 65-year-old actor once told Elle that the secret to his nearly 30-year marriage is “not” romance. Hmm…

Unlike John, Roseanne has been married and divorced three different times. She was hitched to Bill Pentland from 1974 until 1990 and the couple had three children together, Jessica, Jennifer, and Jake. After divorcing Bill, she wed comedian Tom Arnold, and the two stayed married for four years until 1994. The couple had no kids together.

Then in 1995, she married Ben Thomas and the duo was married until 2002, just seven years after they welcomed their son, Buck Thomas. Roseanne also has an older daughter from a previous relationship. She has been with her boyfriend, Johnny Argent, since 2003, but the couple never married.

However, as Roseanne previously revealed to New York Magazine, she was in love with John during the first season of Roseanne! When asked how he felt about her big confession, the actor said he was totally surprised.

John once described Roseanne as like being in a marriage. “We had our ups and downs. She was a pretty strong personality, and I’d hide — much like a modern marriage,” he said. “She had a very strong vision of what she wanted. If I had something to add, it would be on the floor when we were rehearsing.”

As far as learning anything from his fights with the actress, he shares, “Not from her. Honestly, it’s best avoided.” We still think they’d make the perfect real-life couple — and we can’t wait to see them in the upcoming reboot!
